Deconstructing the Citizenization of Rural Migrants through the Lens of Social Resilience:Connotation,Dimensions,and Evolution Process
摘要
Abstract
The citizenization of rural migrants is a central task of China's new-type urbanization and bears directly on national modernization.Prior scholarship has focused largely on structural barriers and institutional constraints,treating rural migrants primarily as passive objects of adaptation.This paper instead adopts a social resilience perspective to uncover the dynamic adjustment mechanisms underlying the citizenization process.Tracing the evolution of resilience theory from engineering and ecological resilience to evolutionary and social resilience,the study defines citizenization resilience as the dynamic and multidimensional capacity of rural migrants to cope with multiple pressures,achieve social integration,and ultimately promote social transformation throughout the rural-to-urban migration process.Its essence lies in the continuous interaction and resource recombination between migrants and their social and institutional environments:migrants serve as the internal drivers of resilience,while government and society function as mutually reinforcing external drivers.The paper develops an analytical framework consisting of three dimensions.The identity dimension concerns migrants' psychological and cultural integration.Drawing on acculturation theory,the study argues that the integration pathway,which sustains a bicultural identity,has greater resilience potential than the assimilation pathway,with outcomes jointly shaped by individual endowments and the urban context.The social network dimension emphasizes the development and expansion of diversified support networks that provide emotional,informational,and instrumental support,the breadth and quality of which directly shape migrants' well-being and their capacity to buffer external shocks.The institutional support dimension,grounded in new institutionalism,stresses the coordination between governmental institutional provision and migrants' effective utilization of institutional resources,and argues that integrated reforms of the hukou system,rural land,and social security are more effective than any single-policy reform.The study further proposes that citizenization resilience evolves through three sequential stages:a survival-oriented stage,characterized by passive adaptation and reliance on kinship networks;a development-oriented stage,marked by active adaptation,identity reconstruction,and increasing demands for equal urban rights;and a transformation-oriented stage,in which migrants shift from objects of governance to active participants in governance,engage in institutional innovation,and help enhance the overall social resilience of cities.Digital technologies are identified as a new driver that expands access to resources and accelerates this evolutionary process.By extending social resilience theory to the field of rural-to-urban migration,the paper makes several contributions.It addresses the prevailing tendency to emphasize individual adaptation at the expense of systemic interaction,moves beyond the conventional dichotomy of"adaptation versus integration,"and advances citizenization research from static analyses of barriers to the dynamic processes through which resilience is developed.It thereby offers a new theoretical perspective on the mechanisms of citizenization,provides support for building a sustainable citizenization policy system,and contributes to advancing people-centered urbanization.Finally,the paper proposes a series of testable propositions for future empirical research and presents four policy recommendations,covering multidimensional resilience support,reversible rural-to-urban mobility channels,digitally enabled differentiated policies,and cost-sharing and risk-reserve mechanisms.关键词
